[Bug 1641308] [NEW] Partitions display wrong in gnome -disks - ok in gparted

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The partitions displayed by gnome-disk-utility are wrong. When i use
gparted the partitions displayed are correct.

The display became wrong after i deleted 1 partition from the disk using
gnome-disk-utility.

Here is a screenshot of the 2 tools vision of the same disk:

Here is the fdisk:

I get *very nervous* when tools that have write access to partitions
can't display them properly.


Good hunt
